Salam!!!
Well, i havenot faced such kind of issues. Its about months i am
running applications
and their performance also seems to be good enough.
Secondly, why using srpms, another way i gave the source download,
well man
cpan is not be useable in this scenario.
Hi
I think the general point being made is that CentOS has a package
management system and that you will save yourself a lot of hassle if you
always use that system where possible.
Lets say you use CPAN to install perl-XXXX the RPM database has no idea
that perl-XXXX has been installed so if at a later date an RPM is
created that supplies perl-XXXX you can get into a very confusing situation.
In my earlier days as a Linux admin coming from a Unix Background I did
as you suggest using Red Hat based systems and installing software from
places like CPAN or compiling from source without making RPMS. But when
you get to the point where you are managing a large number systems this
turns into a LOT of complication that isn't needed. So if you are
managing a number of systems I suggest you take the time to learn about
creating and rebuilding RPMS. Once you get used to this it will safe
you a lot of effort.
Have a nice day :)

CPAN is horrible and is a good way to break your system (it can
replace perl
modules provided in the system with newer api incompatable
ones). i suggest
you grab the srpm from fedora and build a rpm that you can install
and keep
track of what is installed on your system.
